As with the first review, I had to filter the script through dos2unix and change the library location as I had stuck utils.pm in /usr/local/nagios/libexec. Other than that, it just works. I haven't had a UPS in a state other than OK so far so I can't say for certain it works in all cases, but I'm just happy I didn't have to write my own check script for a handful of TrippLite UPS's.

Worked great, with a few minor tweaks.
I had to run dos2unix on the file in order for it to be read correctly. Once I did that I was able to get correct status information when running from the command line, however Nagios when running as a service would display null. I had to edit the plugin file and change the "use lib" line to be "/usr/local/nagios/libexec".
Once I did those two changes the plugin worked fine. Thanks for your contribution!

I can't get this to work on a relatively new HP UPS.
Even when I modify the OID's in the script to reflect the ones HP use, I get the following error
UNKNOWN - SNMP error: Received noSuchName(2) error-status at error-index 1
Bit of a bummer, because this would give me exactly what my boss wants out of this damn HP UPS!
